That has to be a rare (and kind of bizarre) happening.  I think you made the right call!  

Yes,I agree

A very close friend of mine was a jazz pianist who often played alongside McCoy Tyner at Smalls Jazz Club on W.10 St.in Manhattan.

I am a huge fan of Jazz and more that once I have attended Jazz Festivals in Kemah,Texas where musicians from all over the world have appeared.

I called a cruise line to ask a question not to book a cruise.However,the person who answered the phone had the same first and last name as me.I took it as an omen,booked the cruise with him and it was great.

Thanks,Graham

Thank you Greg.

We had a fantastic time.

I paid online pre-cruise for every night in Speciality restaurants which was worth every penny.

I hope you both are well now.

You and Pauline have the most amazing vacations,Graham.

No.  I never heard of Harpers Island🙅‍♀️  

How is your mouth feeling?

Harpers Island is one of the best TV shows I ever saw.It was on CBS.

My mouth is much better.I was using a medicated rinse prescribed by the Surgeon.It was very strong and has many side effects which I have to deal with .However,it helped greatly.

It looked like the cast members did enjoy the dance... I loved watching that!.  I did guess the identity of the murderer, but it took a while to figure it out.  

I am usually pretty good at identifying the murderer but here I was stumped.Did you see Harpers Island in 2009 ?I was stumped on that too.I thought that series was great.

I told RJ from the brginning that I was suspecting Greer. She was just too perfect to be true. But surprises surprises!

I liked the dance sequence. And they all did good.

I suspected Gosia.

I will know just how I am doing in a couple weeks when we drive to Orlando to cruise on Utopia.  It will be a challenge. 

Happy birthday to Kenzie and belated to Finley.

I hear ya, Marietta!  However, it does beat the alternative!😉

Years ago, the Deacon at our Church said he now has more doctors than he has friends.....

I also have more doctors than friends.At age 75 when I was critically Ill

I had a celebration of life party in lieu of a birthday party.All of my friends who were at the party have since passed away.

We just saw that!
Actually binged it in two sessions. Very nice.

Did you guess the identity of the murderer ? I did not.I told a friend of mine that it is usually the least likely person.

I saw an interview with Liev Schreiber.He said that learning the dance was mandatory .Some cast members objected initially but they all enjoyed it.

I've read that some banks require that they be deposited into your account.

My local NYS bank will cash a Travelers check or several for anyone who has an account with the bank.They require a photo ID even if they know the person.

Feel better Lenny🤞

Thanks,Marietta.How is Charlie?

I have a Netflix series to recommend:The Perfect Couple. A great cast headed by Nicole Kidman and Liev Schreiber.

It is one season ,6 episodes and no guesses if there will be another season.

I always had the vegetable cutlet and mushroom barley soup.  A Ratner's tradition.

That was my favorite as well.My cousin Sam was a Waiter there.

@lenquixote66 Hoping your procedure goes well. No fun sitting in the dentist chair especially for a redo procedure.

Wishing Toby a happy birthday and a year full of good days !

 

@Momof3gurlz Aloha- enjoy your Hawaiian vacation.

Quite the effort to reach the resort from the East coast, but rewarding once you arrive in a beautiful place.

Thanks,MJ for your birthday wishes.As far as my procedure it was done under anesthesia ,my choice and I had absolutely no pain and minimal pain last night.Today I am fine except that the antibiotic I am on has really bad side effects necessitating a visit to my GI doctor later today.

I remember Amex's old commercials with Karl Malden.  In one he actually told customers to hold on to unused checks for emergency money! 

 

While there will be some way to redeem them into the near future, the days were one could walk into a bank with traveler's checks and walk out with cash are coming to an end. 

There are more than 40 banks in NYC where one can redeem their Travelers Checks.Not just Manhattan but every other area as well.

Tomorrow I am having Oral Surgery again as the procedure that I had in July was a failure.
